The Device Attack Incident :
Chaos broke out in Dahiyeh, the southern
Beirut bastion of Hezbollah, shortly after large crowds had assembled to pay respects to some of
the victims of Tuesday’s wave of pager-bomb strikes. A man was seen lying on the ground and
terrified people—some of whom were screaming—were seen fleeing in a video that showed the
explosion.
All of this occurred just before the funerals for three Hezbollah members and an 11-year-old boy
who had been killed the day before were set to begin. The sound of the explosion reverberated
through the streets, causing chaos in the surrounding region. The vociferations ceased. Those
present exchanged glances, with several expressing disbelief.
The Attack continues :
No electronic equipment was deemed safe when word got out that this was a part of a second
wave of explosives that were now aimed at walkie-talkies. Sources were often halted by
Hezbollah members who insisted that they did not use our phones or cameras.
A friend of the sources informed one of the platforms that she had switched her Lebanese SIM
card to an overseas number because she was afraid her phone may blow up as well. On social
media, there were rumors spreading that even solar panels were blowing up, which added to the
chaos.
At least 20 fatalities and 450 injuries were reported nationwide, according to Lebanese officials,
who also claimed that fires broke out in several residences, businesses, and cars.
The most recent attacks are already being interpreted as a further setback for the group
supported by Iran and as a sign that Israel may have compromised the group’s whole
communication system.
What happens next?
There must be a lot of people in this room wondering what will happen next. The nation is still in
shock and rage over what happened on Tuesday, when users of pagers thought to be from
Hezbollah experienced a coordinated onslaught that resulted in thousands of pagers exploding.
About 2,800 people were injured when the explosives exploded while they were at home or in
stores. Twelve people died, including an eight-year-old girl and an eleven-year-old boy.
What does civilians feel about this?
Ghida, a Lebanese woman, said that “everyone is just panicking” on the BBC Newsday show.
“We’re not sure if we can continue to be close to our phones and laptops. Right now, everything
appears dangerous, and nobody knows what to do,” the woman remarked. “I am afraid of wider-
scale war in Lebanon, I’m afraid for my people, I’m afraid for my city, I’m afraid for my country,”
she said.
Since we are paying the price of a conflict including Hezbollah, Israel, Iran, and us all, we certainly
deserve better.” At least 60% of the patients Dr. Elias Warrak saw following Tuesday’s explosions
had lost at least one eye, and many more had lost a finger or their entire hand, he told the BBC.
He described it as “the worst day of [his] life as a physician”.
I think there have been a tremendous amount of casualties and damage done,” he remarked.
“Unfortunately, we were not able to save a lot of eyes, and unfortunately the damage is not
limited to the eyes – some of them have damage in the brain in addition to any facial damage.”
According to reports, a shipment of pagers may have been remotely detonated after being fitted
with explosives.
The pagers were provided by Hezbollah due to worries that its members were being tracked
down and killed by the Israeli military and intelligence services via cellphones. The possible
method of execution for Wednesday’s strikes remained unclear. However, Hezbollah has pledged
to reply, accusing Israel of being behind the strikes.
Israel has not responded as usual. Tens of thousands of people have been displaced by the
violence between the two rivals, and there are growing fears that this bloodshed could turn into
a full-scale conflict.
Hezbollah claims that its strikes against Israel, which commenced about a year ago, are in
support of the Palestinians in Gaza and that they will only end in the event of a truce, which is
now unattainable. At the Dahiyeh burial, mourners who talked with the BBC also adopted a
combative demeanor. “The pain is enormous, physical, and in the heart,” remarked one young
man. However, we are accustomed to this and will persist in our opposition.”
“This will make us stronger, whoever has lost an eye will fight with the other eye and we are all
standing together,” a 45-year-old lady told the BBC. The 98th division of the Israeli army moved
from Gaza to the north of Israel a few hours after the most recent blasts, prompting Israeli
Defense Minister Yoav Gallant to declare that his nation was “at the start of a new phase in the
war”.
As Lebanon tries to emerge from an extended economic crisis, Hezbollah has up to now stated
that it is not interested in engaging in another big battle with Israel. Many people here argue that
a fight is not advantageous to the nation. Some, though, will undoubtedly call for a forceful reply.
Hassan Nasrallah, the influential head of Hezbollah, may have given away what the group may be
intending on doing on Thursday when he made his first public statement.
